My favourite VR headset is Oculus Quest which is revolutionising on-the-go virtual reality gaming. I like it because there is no need to hook up to a PC, or have those pesky wires tethering you like a ball on a string. As a stand-alone unit, this VR headset packs a punch, allowing you to pick-up and play from just about anywhere. With its internal tracking system. Oculus Quest has also removed the need for external base stations. Many have complained about the starting price of $399, with the optional upgrade in hard drive turning into $499, but it is important to realise that we’re purchasing the entire system for that price. The headset is like the one-stop-shop for a VR gaming experience, placing the price pretty on par with other VR gaming options.

On the other hand, my favourite MR set is Samsung HMD Odyssey+ which has a very high resolution and also good sound quality. Controllers use bluetooth that runs off the headset, not the PC, so it isn’t an issue if you lack a bluetooth adapter on your PC. Compared to the older Samsung HMD Odyssey, one additional improvement that should have been a no-brainer is a “flashlight” function with the controller.  These headsets have cameras built into them. When you use the flashlight function, you access the cameras and can look around you to make sure you don’t hit anything, which is way too common with other products. And lastly, it is easy to set up and use daily – once you have set up your perimeter, you just need to put on the headset, look to the sides and then at the ground, and it should load your setup and you’re good to go.
